Me Mumbaikar’s Blog

Have you ever been on Mumbai Darshan? It has 23 Points of famous spots in Mumbai like Gateway of India, Sachin Tendulkar’s residence, Amitabh Bachans residence etc., now Mumbai Darshan has 3 more new locations

1. Oberoi Towers
2. Taj Mahal Hotel
3. Nariman House

The terror tourism was inaugurated by our honarable Cheif Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh , his son Ritesh Deshmukh and his friend (read: new mentor / director of his next film) Ram Gopal Varma.
As Mumbaikars after few weeks we are going to remember these locations as a part of Terror Tourism, you know why , because we will have something more to talk about, we might be discussing how many runs Dhoni needs to take to complete a certain record, will sachin tendulkar play today or not. If not any of these our Media people are good enough to give us a spicy story of some bollywood love affair or something related to some minister etc.,

Our memories are short lived, we are not going to remember even the names of the people who died protecting us from these terrorists. Can any of us name them without searching for their names in blog and search engines? No matter how ever bad our security agencies weapons are, but still these people who had sacrificed they lives to protect / save mumbai will be forgotten in short span of time.
Terror Tourism will be the only way we might remember then, that too because some political party will make a scribe at these location and inscribe the names of the people who lost their lives in these locations (i am not sure even this happen).

First few days of terror tourism, its with curiosity of what happened there, next few days we might want to show our friends or family what happened there, might even walk up to some wall to show the bullet marks.
We all are planning to meet on 3rd December infront of these terror tourism location, so that we can have the view of these locations and get some media coverage…this is what thats going to happen on 3rd December.  We will not be adding any more value, none of our voices will be heard, for media its just a spicy news and moment to add value to their TRP by showing the live coverage…no actions will be there in the results of the protests or requests….

Our system need radical change, and it has to happen now. Boycott the tax payments, they can arrest if 10 people are not paying taxes, what if 1 million people are not going to pay their taxes, do we have jails to keep so many people? Protest and make a point in such a way that it will hit them where it hurt them the most. Our government is not poor, let them form a committee and show us the progress and the implementation of the security plans, then we will pay our taxes…can we do this?
Even I will forget about it in next few weeks, then what taking my friend / family to terror tourism will be my hobby , as with this kind of phase and environments, we might have few more terror tourism spots in near future…

They are not concerned with what is happening inside, they are more concerned on how to capitalize the entire event….we have seen some prominent movie makers also giving their point of view on the attacks….which means in short you will be able to see a movie based on this story titled “MARCOS” “WOH 26 Tariq” “Mumbai Meri Jaan” or any other which can bring in contrevesy / crowd …which might be even funded by some corporates and they will stage the scene in such a way that, they made this movie to show the patriotic feeling….. This is what is happening through out….

We forget whats happening ….we stick out views through the media…if 6 out of 10 channel says a particular person is a good person , we start believing it….at some place the media people should draw a line to themselves and show their solidarty for the country as well… the way some of the journalist talk to the victims or ask such stupid questions make us feel are they really doing reporting or something else…

Here is a brief interaction of a Journalist of a famous TV channel and a victim who just walked out of the hostage situation….

Journalist : Abhi aap ko kaisa lag raga hai ? (how are you feeling now?)

Victim : Much better….

Journalist : Aap ko kisne bachaya hai ? ( Who helped you to get out the hostage situation ? )

Victim : Commandos

Journalist : Aap ne Terrorist ko dekha hai ? (Have you seen the terrorist?)

Victim : Nahi, mein mera kamre mein bandh tha ( No, I closed myself in my room)

Journalist : Room me light aur TV aur kahene peena ka suvida nahi tha? (Did you had light, TV and arrangement for food and water in the room)

Victim : Nahi, Security reason ki wajah se light aur tv bandh kiya tha (No, due to security reasons the TV and light were switched off)

Journalist : Kya aap sashen ko is ka zimmedar manthe hai? (Do you blame the government for this? )

What kind of question is this, for every thing that goes wrong the first thing any journalist from any tv channel will ask this question “Kya aap sashen ko is ka zimmedar manthe hai?” or “Kya police time nahi pounchi?” or ” Kya police is ke zimmedar hai?”…….

Unfortunely their fest on live coverage ends now, but this is not the end of it they have more hot and spicey news…now they will interview as many dead people’s family as possible…train them with the words what to say, how to blame the authorities etc., and goes live with that….

For them its a business….you are sad…we will cover it and make money out of it…you are happy…we will cover the news and make money out of it….you are sick ….we will cover it and make money out of it…..all you need to do is give us exculsive pictures and exculsive interview….we just need news….we are not concerned the city is burning, the city is attacked by terrorist , our coverage can create problem in the investigation or on going combing operation…we are not concerned with that…all we want is the news….Exclusive!!!!!!
